Synopsis

What will you sacrifice to save the ones you love? Months after the EMP that destroyed the electric grid, millions have died of starvation and disease. The militia has been defeated, but the victory cost Fall Creek, Michigan dearly. The town is a ghost of itself, the survivors left to pick up the pieces. Hannah Sheridan is holding Fall Creek together by sheer grit. Her son's medicine is nearly gone, the town is fractured and hungry, and the man she depends on most is two hundred miles away fighting a war of his own. Then a body is found strung up by the river for all to see, bearing a cardboard sign: DEATH TO POWER. A new evil circles the gates. But the old one isn't finished with them yet, for an enemy they thought defeated is watching, biding his time for revenge. Former Delta operator Liam Coleman has one mission: infiltrate a fortified FEMA camp run by the brutal Syndicate and bring home the only family he has left. He's one man against an army, and a single mistake will be his last. Two threats are converging on Fall Creek. And when they collide, there will be nowhere left to run. Kyla Stone is the USA Today bestselling author of more than 25 novels with over two million copies sold worldwide in several languages. Edge of Survival is the sixth book in the acclaimed Edge of Collapse apocalyptic thriller series, now optioned by Sony Pictures for television. For fans of SILO, Station Eleven, and The Walking Dead . *Rated PG-13 for mild language and moderate violence*
